Washed up or, perhaps more likely, hauled up onto the landwash at the breakwater in Quidi Vidi Gut.
I went on Friday morning to see the impressive icebergs grounded a half mile out but like this picture better than what I got of the bergs. The cable is about as wide as my forearm and there seems to be about fifty feet of it there strewn in a little ditch in the rocks supporting the breakwater. I don't know what it served as but it looks like it is fifty years old or more. TransAtlantic cables and WW2 anti-submarine defenses spring to mind, but maybe it's an underwater power cable, and thus the three thick wires at the core. Perhaps it is an artefact of the US military base that existed a half mile inland from here in the 1940s and '50s. Got any guesses?

Distant lights filtering through trees illuminates a suspended wire on our street in this night shot.
For Macro Mondays theme "Wire", a pipe cleaning cable. 30mm macro lens, settings f/8, 1/50 sec, ISO100. Shot beneath a window with extra led lighting to produce the bokeh. Cropped to square but no other edits. HMM :)
Small, compact hummingbird found on the east slope of Andes from central Colombia to central Peru. Male is unmistakable; look for long pointed tail, wirelike crest, short straight bill, and white band across the rump. Female is less spectacular, but still has the obvious white rump band and a white mustache patch. Occurs in the foothills from around 600 to 1,600 m. Can be seen at flowering shrubs (especially purple Verbena) and trees.
This one was photographed in Ecuador on a photography tour led by Juan Carlos Vindas of Neotropic Photo Tours.

While on a June, 5-day, river trip with some friends, we camped at one of the spots near the Wire Fence rapid. Of course, going on trips like this means I will bring all my photo toys with me, too!
The night was clear, and the moon was not out, so I decided to try to capture some Milky Way images in an area behind the camp that was not obstructed by trees.
I used a D750 with a 14-24mm Nikor lens (love this lens! Its the one that stay on my Nikon bodies the most!). I wanted to catch the MW arch over the rock formation in the distance. To do this, I did a panoramic at 9 positions (left to right). To reduce noise and have a sharper star image, I captured 4 frames at each position (all RAW). Then took a longer exposure for the foreground - not too much, because I wanted the foreground to be dark as I saw it, but still show some detail.
When I got home, I stacked each image in Sequator, and then take the produced Tiff files and stitched these using Photoshop.
A little adjustments in Photoshop to bring out the tones that I wanted, and the result is this image! A bonus for that night is the nice, greenish, air glow, too!
Anyway, there you go!
Strange sky tonight. This pic doesn't capture the effect... There clouds were in bands, so the sky had stripes of blue/grey and orange/yellow. It was cool.
I saw an unseasonably late Swallow in West Yorkshire on 23 November last year, and I expect I'll see my first of 2021 within the next week or two (Post script: I posted this on 28 March and saw my first Swallows on 31 March 2021). But this is a Wire-tailed Swallow which is found in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia including much of India. This is the African subspecies which is a touch smaller than our British Swallow. Like most swallows it's easy to get flight views but not easy to get one perched close so you can enjoy distinctive long, ridiculously thin tail streamers, blue and white plumage with a vent strap and a burnished copper cap. The tail streamers are very variable in length and often get broken. Males have longer streamers than females but are otherwise similar. It is rarely seen far from water and unlike our Swallow, Wire-tailed does not migrate. Its scientific name Hirundo smithii commemorates Norwegian botanist Christen Smith who died aged 30 in 1816 on an expedition to see if the River Congo had connections with the Niger. The type specimen of Wire-tailed Swallow was taken on this expedition and named in 1818 to honour Smith. I photographed this one by Lake Tana in Ethiopia.
